I have learned so much about using leg muscles to protect my knees from this series. The lessons from these three classes have affected every practice I've done since my first attempt to unfold the lotus.

Definitely a tough/advanced hip-opening class. Oddly enough, I've always been able to do lotus w/o much trouble...but this class worked some other tiny nuances of my hips and knees. (I still have trouble with virasana!)

I felt very safe with the instruction and pace of this class to not only work deep into my hip joints but my knees and ankles also. There were plenty of opportunities to settle into a pose and breathe the tension away. Great counter practice for the jarring activities I participate in.

This is one of the best hip opening classes I've ever taken. The pace was a bit slower than expected from a guru class, but perfect to achieve the hip opening poses. Wonderful way to get the day started. Thanks, Neesha!

I have some knee issues so am unable to go into full lotus - but this class leads me to getting as close as possible while staying safe. Hips feel wonderful!

Left my legs and hips feeling so wonderful.

Great ending to the series. Thanks for posting it! Thank you Neesha!

Excellent tuition as usual, thanks.

I felt very centered, focused, meditative, being in the ocean breath all time through. Substantial progress in hips. Happy, unified and grounded. not overworked, just optimal. Although I practice other classes too (ashtanga - too, with kundalini being the biggest challenge)., I tend to gravitate towards Anusara mostly: ... Just my pace, my sensitivity, my sense of inner dance and beauty.

Wow! Great to finally be able to enjoy the pose. I could not find the Part II of the series however so I went from Part I to Part III. Thanks Neesha!

Really opened the hips with this class. Great series
